Despite successful actions by women’s organizations over the past three decades, the scale and severity of discrimination and violence against women is rising – even in Canada and British Columbia. Violence against women is both a violation of human rights and an impediment to achieving gender equality. Yet, in many communities in BC, violence against women is accepted as ‘normal behavior’ and women are left to suffer in silence.

It is only by changing this perception of ‘normalcy’ that we can bring to light the seriousness of this kind of offence. This illumination will change beliefs surrounding violence against women and, in turn, behavior. In this way, we believe we can bring an end to all violence against women.

We Can BC is an alliance of BC-based organizations and individuals from diverse communities who are committed to a long-term and sustained process of changing customs and attitudes that perpetuate violence against women.

We seek to trigger a person-to-person chain reaction of change in attitudes and behavior on a scale sufficient to generate a mass social movement to end violence against women.
